A closer look: Part 1

         Here are some photos of Kings Port on the right side of the layout.

             The cleverly named Kings Port Steel (I couldn't come up with a better one!)

                                 A Gulf Oil river and rails facility

                               Tow boat and barge at the Gulf facility

              KP Tower and the passenger station at Kings Port as photographed  from the top of the tanks at Gulf.   I don't endorse doing that by the way!

               Action at Ulster Ave.  A unit coal train crosses below while a Gulf  tank train rolls on the high line.

                Volstead's Tavern (always closed) and the town's team track loading dock

                     Railroading on two levels with a billboard advertising one of the line's customers in between.

                   The coal train  and a local headed by a GP38/ GP38-2 consist head toward the entrance to Williams Yard (staging) while a pair of F7s dedicated to helper service wait on the right.

Booms Ready Mix sits on the far end of town by the entrance to Williams Yard.   That's it for now.  I'll continue photographing around the layout in future posts and talk about the Penn Central power and introduce the KP&W!
